Noir City: Video Q & A with Marsha Hunt and Eddie Muller

| | |

Back in January, the Film Noir Foundation conducted its fifth San Francisco-edition of the Noir City film festival at the Castro Theatre. Hosted by wordslinger and cultural archeologist Eddie Muller, the opening night program of Anthony Mann's Raw Deal (1948) and Fred Zinnemann's underrated Kid Glove Killer (1942) featured an on-stage Q&A with a remarkable actress from both films - the sharp-witted (and stunning) Marsha Hunt. The audience attending the festivities that night were in luck indeed as czar-of-noir Muller and Hunt discussed, among other things, her work on Raw Deal and filmmaking under the threat of McCarthyism. The folks from Cabinetic were there as well to capture the conversation and, with Noir City making its way south to Hollywood in an eighth-annual team-up with the American Cinematheque, we're finally able to premiere this fascinating interview.
